Exodus - Chapter 37

1 And Bezaleel made the ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half was the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it:

2 And he overlaid it with pure gold within and without, and made a crown of gold to it round about.

3 And he cast for it four rings of gold, to be set by the four corners of it; even two rings upon the one side of it, and two rings upon the other side of it.

4 And he made staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.

5 And he put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, to bear the ark, so that men should bear the ark with them.

6 And he made the mercy seat, the propitiatory over the ark, of pure gold: two cubits and a half was the length thereof, and one cubit and a half the breadth thereof.

7 And he made two cherubims of gold, beaten out of one piece made he them, on the two ends of the mercy seat;

8 One cherub on the end on this side of the propitiatory, and another cherub on the other end on that side of the propitiatory: out of the mercy seat made he the cherubims on the two ends thereof.

9 And the cherubims spread out their wings on high, and covered with their wings over the mercy seat, overshadowing the propitiatory with their wings, with their faces one to another; even to the mercy seatward were the faces of the cherubims.

10 And he made the table of shittim wood [of pure gold]: two cubits was the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof:

11 And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made thereunto a crown of gold round about.

12 Also he made thereunto a border of an handbreadth round about; and made a crown of gold for the border thereof round about.

13 And he cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings upon the four corners that were in the four feet thereof, two on the one side and two on the other side, broad, so that (men) should lift it with the staves in them.

14 Over against the border were the rings, the places for the staves to bear the table.

15 And he made the staves of the ark and of the table of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold, to bear the table.

16 And he made the vessels which were upon the table [the furniture of the table], his dishes, and the censers, and the cups, and his spoons, and his bowls with which he should offer drink-offerings, and his covers to cover withal, of pure gold.

17 And he made the candlestick which gives light,  of pure gold: of beaten work made he the candlestick; his shaft, and his branch, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, were of the same:

18 the stem solid, and six branches going out of the sides thereof; three branches of the candlestick out of the one side thereof, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side thereof:

19 and blossoms proceeding from its branches, three on this side, and three on the other, made equal to each other. Three bowls made after the fashion of almonds in one branch, a knop and a flower; and three bowls made like almonds in another branch, a knop and a flower: so throughout the six branches going out of the candlestick.

20 And in the candlestick were four bowls made like almonds, his knops, and his flowers:

21 And a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, according to the six branches going out of it. And (as to) their lamps, which are on the ends, knops (proceeded) from them; and sockets proceeding from them, that the lamps might be upon them; and the seventh socket, on the top of the candlestick, on the summit above, entirely of solid gold.

22 Their knops and their branches were of the same: all of it was one beaten work of pure gold.

23 And on the candlestick he made his seven lamps, and his snuffers, and his snuffdishes [its funnels], of pure gold.

24 Of a talent of pure gold made he it, and all the vessels thereof.

25 And he made the incense altar of shittim wood: the length of it was a cubit, and the breadth of it a cubit; it was foursquare; and two cubits was the height of it; the horns thereof were of the same.

26 And he overlaid it with pure gold, both the top of it, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns of it: also he made unto it a crown of gold round about.

27 And he made two rings of gold for it under the crown thereof, by the two corners of it, upon the two sides thereof, to be places for the staves to bear it withal.

28 And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.

29 And he made the holy anointing oil, and the composition of pure incense of sweet spices, according to the work of the apothecary [the pure work of the perfumer].
